The extreme value of what the Lord Jesus Christ accomplished while on earth is based on His true identity. He asked His disciples the piercing question: “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” His identity continues to be questioned today. The non-Christian community and church members alike struggle to know. Either Jesus Christ is God revealed in human flesh or He is not! This is the very issue that divides the entire human race. Evil powers continue to mount a steady assault upon the character of Christ. To disgrace His character is to destroy the effect of His work on the cross.

Glimpses of God are opportunities to recognize, with greater clarity, the presence of God in the various places, people, events, circumstances, objects, and languages of our daily life. I offer them to you as an opportunity to reflect on how much God is a part of your life, and how He has chosen to be in relationship with you, how you have chosen to be in relationship with Him, and how through this relationship, you become one of His greatest Glimpses. They are glimpses because we can miss them if we are not paying attention. If we open our heart to His love, our ears to hear his gentle whisper, our eyes to see His light, our hands to feel His hand in ours, and our feet to walk with Him, then we are growing in our relationship with our God and exuding His presence in a clear and vibrant way. I believe that it is in and through this relationship that we are able to recognize His invitation to be a Glimpse to others on our life. I believe it is then that we see more clearly His presence within ourselves. As we recognize His presence within ourselves, and strive to see it more readily in others, then we grow not only in love with our God, self, and others, we are filled with a deeper peace, a greater joy, and a sense of being beloved. If we are open to sharing these gifts with others, then we too are being a Glimpse of God to those in our family, our neighborhood, our community, our society, our church, our friends, those we encounter on a daily basis and even the stranger.

Glimpses of Biblical Women and Other Poems is a collection of insights and poems about women found in the scriptures. Each study takes the form of an introduction, a poem, and summarizing thoughts to consider.

This life story is about a woman named Louise. It has always been a personal desire of Louise to love God the way Enoch did. The Bible does not provide a list of things that Enoch did; however, we know that God was pleased with him. Genesis 5:2324 states that Enoch lived a total of 365 years. Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more because God took him away. Louise made up her mind that she would diligently seek a personal relationship with her God. One day Louise decided to write her life journey. After many days of thinking, meditating, and trying to decide what to write, Louise realized that she had a problem. Every time she started to write, she had nothing of value to say. Louise did not desire to write a love story or some sort of fairy tale. Louse desired to write something that would help inspire and motivate fellow Christians to not give up. Louise prayed and prayed that God would allow her to share His love through her life journey. As a Christian, Louise could not write her life journey without writing about her spiritual journey, which included her errors, flaws, and sins. As a Christian, Louise had to write about how God delivered her. In return, God gave Louise an amazing gift to share with every reader. Louise has been blessed with an amazing gift of seeing and experiencing a small glimpse of what her soul endured during very difficult times in her life.

How well do you know the Gospels? Who was the man who ran naked from the garden of Gethsemane? What did Peter and Jesus talk about when Jesus appeared to him after the resurrection? For Jack Mahoney, the Gospels are a patchwork quilt presenting the 'nuclear truth' of Jesus' resurrection. In Glimpses of the Gospel he makes accessible to the reader the patchwork unity of the Gospel story; tracing major themes, parables and moments across the Gospels, analysing what changes from gospel to gospel, and showing how the differences between gospel accounts can shed valuable light on the enduring questions of Christians.
